DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 3-7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The arctic boundary is just clearing the South Coast and crossing Cape Cod as I write this at 7 a.m. Friday, and now it’s time to endure about 36 hours of intense arctic cold, coming in on moderate to strong north northwest wind today, peaking tonight and very early Saturday, and easing by later Saturday. Please be safe if you have to be outside at all during this time. Recovery from this arctic blast will be quick from later Saturday through Sunday, when some areas will see temperature rises in the neighborhood of 50 degrees in 30 hours. A southwesterly air flow on the back side of arctic high pressure, which doesn’t waste any time moving to our east, will be the reason. Some cloudiness with the return of the milder and more moist air will be the result Saturday night and Sunday at times, but right now I am continuing the trend of no precipitation through Sunday that was evident yesterday. At most a few flakes of snow could occur in northern and western areas Saturday night with the passage of a warm front. After a wave of low pressure goes by to the north on Sunday, the boundary comes back as a cold front later Sunday and thwarts the warm up for a day on Monday, but this time we’re not going to see arctic air behind that front. The boundary, now in a wavery mood, goes back to the north again for Tuesday with a stronger low pressure wave moving through the Great Lakes, and before its cold front crosses the region some time that night, we’ll see a pretty mild day on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
